- [Avodah] Trick or treat? October 29, 2025Interesting in C?M 267 we see that originally a middling identification mark was considered sufficient to return a lost object.

- [Avodah] Names in Aramaic and other languages October 26, 2025. [My questions here are more linguistic, and less Torah, so I considered posting this to Areivim. But I'm hoping for responses that are based on Onkelos' translation style, so that's why I'm sending it to Avodah.] In my learning of Onkelos, I have noticed that it is not unusual for a place to have […]
